PITTsBURG, Nov. 30.-About o'clock this
morning, while men were at work putting
packer IN a natural-gas well IN the Hickory field
in Washington county, the escaping gas sud-
denly ignited, blowing the derrick to pieces.
The flame rose about 100 feet, with a roar that
could be heard three miles away. Five men
who were working on the derrick were badly
burned. one of them, Thomas Connolly, it is
thought, fatally. The cause Of the ignition is a
mystery, the only plausible explanation being
that the stones forced up through the casing
must have caused the FIRE by friction.

HOW ~CELLULOID IS MADE.

While everybody has heard of, or
seen or used celluloid, only a few
know what it is composed of or how
it is made. The following is a de-
scription of the process carried out in
a factory near Paris for the produc-
ton of celluloid A roll of paper is
slowly unwound, and at the same time
is saturated with a mixture Of five
parts of sulphuric acid and two parts
of nitric acid, which falls upon the
paper in a fine spray. This changes
the cellulose of the paper into pyroxy-
line (gun cotton.) The excess of the
acid having been expelled by pressure,
the paper is washed with plenty of
water until all traces Of acid have
been removed; it is then reduced to a
pulp, and passes on to the bleaching
trough. Most of the water having
been got rid of by means of a strainer,
the pulp is mixed with from 20 to 40
per cent. of its weight of camphor,
and the mixture thoroughly triturated
under mill-stones. The necessary
coloring having been added in the
form of powder, a second mixing and
grinding follows. The finely divided
